Auckland, New Zealand
Hong Kong
Hop Cheong Pens
and Lighters Co.;
111 Des Voeux
Road
Central,
Hong Kong.
Tel: 2544-2197
A nice small pen store with a good selection of pens including limited editions and some vintage models. Good prices are reported at this store. [S. Kalat] Feng Yuan Pens & Lighters Co.; G/F, No 25 Star House; Tsimshatsui, Hong Kong. Tel: (852) 2375-8178 A small shop but with a number of things going for it: good selection, good prices, staff that are friendly and helpful.
Recently I head from Mark who says "It's probably the smallest, but mighiest pen shop in the world!" Rents are high in Hong Kong so space is expensive. This is a store that is work going to when you are in Hong Kong.
Winner Pens Collection
Man Yee Arcade, Shop 110
60 - 68 Des Voeux Road Central
Hong Kong
Tel: (852) 2710-8802 Fax: (852( 2781-2608
Thanks Phil Pither for the information on this store. It is located within a two minute walk of Hop Cheong, located on opposite side of Des Voeux Road heading East. Go up the building escalator into Man Yee Arcade.
Winner Pens is not visible from the street.
The store has large range of Pens, Inks and if you are buying it is probably good to compare prices against Hop Cheong but I suspect they both know each other's prices better than any visitor so probably not too much in it but .... its an easy walk and their stock is sometimes different.
Jerusalem, Israel
Eitim
30, Azza Street
Rehavi, Jerusalem, Israel
Tel/Fax: 02-5671824
I have not had the opportunity to visit Jerusalem yet, however, when my manager told me he was visiting Jerusalem, I asked him to visit a store that I have heard about from others via e-mail. Being a good manager, he quickly delegated this to someone else and Ed Rozenberg visited the store and yes - it is a great pen shop and worth a visit.
When the cab drivers know the address its an established business. David, the proprietor and one that has been in the business for some 24 years, runs Eitim - meaning pens in Hebrew -- which is a clean net shop that sells pens and related assessories. Ask for about a fountain pen and you'll be shown a selection and a bottle of ink to dip-and-try is there pronto! Carries all the major names in pens including some limited editions.
